School-leavers
Applications for Admission, Accommodation & Scholarships
Most, if not all New Zealand universities are accepting applications for admission in semester 1, 2026. Now is therefore a good time for school-leavers to get their applications in.
All students are able to book a Careers Meeting with Mr Apa or Mrs Brook to work through and discuss their thoughts and plans for future career direction, including subject selection. You can book a meeting here.
First Year Accommodation
Application for first year accommodation with a New Zealand University is typically a separate application. Applications for halls and residential colleges open on Friday 1 August 2025, and close on the 15 September.
It is important to note that the application for accommodation will not be processed by the university unless a common confidential reference form or CCRF has been received from the College.
This form must be requested by the student in the first instance and then subsequently completed online by Housemasters.
Scholarships for School-Leavers
Assistance with finding and applying for scholarships is also readily available in King’s Careers.
Each university website has solid information on the scholarships available, including the process by which they access applications.
The students’ section of the MoneyHub website is another useful resource for students which includes a scholarship database.
